The
prevailing spate of killings and maiming of political figures in recent times
call for serious concerns and the government whose primary duty is to ensure
the security of lives and properties of her citizens, must curtail such
excesses now.
We
are excruciatingly pained and greatly disappointed too that the
players and circumstantial beneficiaries of the struggle for the enthronement
of Democratic system of government in Nigeria are not playing by the rules of
democracy as obtained in developed nations of the world.
We
are equally bothered and seriously troubled with the “do or die” mindset of our
politicians and followers since the emergence of Democracy in 1999.
No
one with human blood flowing in his/her veins will be happy to see his/her
child(ren) being hit by live bullets or felled by dangerous weapons,
simply because of political or ideological differences.
The
same is the feeling that is expected of a flesh hearted and responsible
government from the centre of power down to the grassroots.
We
hereby call on the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to step up on
their duty of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerians through their
various security agencies.
Top
on the list of Security agencies that is more people and community oriented, is
the Nigeria Police which we expect to become more proactive in securing lives
of citizens.
We
urge our Security operatives to please be on the alert always especially
before, during and after the elections.
We
equally appeal that the perpetrators of such dastard and heinous acts are
brought to book in no time.
Life
is sacrosanct and therefore, should be protected by those empowered by law to
do so.
Our
politicians should be happy to lead the living instead of marching over the graves
of the dead.
These
are the words of Dr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, the President, Centre for Change.
